Brix

Brix

I like everything about Brix – not least the simple but striking bricks pattern on the bell sleeve. It gives this otherwise relaxed and understated sweater an edge.
Take closer look and you'll find a finely detailed sideways collar – a little work of art. 
The yarn, Rauma Finull, proves to be a sturdy, grippy Norwegian wool that can take a lot of wear. I imagine the sheep have weathered many storms and rainfalls.

Brix is a classic tailored Ziggurat.
The cuffs are what make this sweater stand out. 
For extra swing: an optional wedge in the back (the blue sweater is knitted without). 
The double-knitted collar is an unusual sideways construction, carefully fashioned – there are detailed step-by-step photos to help you create yours.
As on most Ziggurats there is also an optional bust dart.
